of Visual Survey
- Aug 2004 Click

photographs The ideas and possibilities outlined below are designed to help members of the local community as they think about what could happen on this site. Nothing is fixed and alternative solutions may well emerge over the coming decade - it is for the local community to decide and enable it to happen. 1. Visual
Attributes - update 2004 Large
dull areas of mown amenity grass separate these
blocks of housing, which are located just up the
hill from Deepcar Village Hall on the west side of
Helliwell Lane. A belt of woodland screens the site
from the playing fields on the western boundary and
a scattering of single trees, including rowan and
cherry, are located on the areas of grass adjacent
to the road. The only other noteworthy features are
a square tarmac car park and three areas of mixed
shrubbery on the eastern end of each housing block.
2. 3. This
site is overlooked on all sides by housing, so it
feels very secure. The area of fairly dense tree
planting to the back of the site may feel quite
intimidating after dark. Activities
that the site supports at
present The
car park provides parking for residents and grass
can be used for sitting on in the summer.
4. 5. 6. 7. Activities
that could be supported in the
future Communal
outdoor seating could be provided on site and
possibly a few picnic benches. A communal garden
for the residents could also be created. Areas of
mown grass could be made much more visually
stimulating, e.g. with the establishment of a
meadow area, or swathes of herbaceous planting.
